The Alhambra is Granada’s – and Europe’s – love letter to the Moorish culture, a place where the fountains trickle, leaves rustle and ancient spirit seems to linger mysteriously. It is a palace and a fortress from the Nasrid Dynasty. The stunning Islamic architecture and artwork give us a glimpse of medieval architecture. The name comes from an Arabic root which means “red or crimson castle”. During the Napoleonic occupation, it was used as a barrack and nearly blown up. What you see today has been heavily but respectfully restored. This is beautiful site with so many various gardens and buildings, and its view of the historic area of Granada is second to none. In 1870, Alhambra was declared as a national monument and became World Heritage site in 1984. The Alhambra has long enchanted a never-ending line of expectant visitors. You need to get there early to get a ticket into the palace itself as only a limited number are available. Otherwise, you can simply roam around the gardens.
